Engineering Marvels from Hell (created by Doma581, 2nd place in the RPG Maker Horror Game Jam #9) takes the idea of a “graduation project” to a dark and brutal new extreme. Welcome to SAP ( School of Art and Pain ), where failing a class means more than a retake; it means a dreadful fate. This brief kinetic book plunges directly into the unstable psyche of people conditioned to inflict absolute anguish.
You’re not playing a hero, but instead you’ll be playing real villains, following Harry and his messed-up circle of mates. Their job? To build the perfect torture machine for their final exam.
The game is built on the RPG Maker MZ engine and has a simple control scheme so you can focus on the plot without any obstacles:
Here are some basic ideas to help you get the most out of this psychologically intense game:
Use breaks to save: Sometimes the game gives you downtime where you can stroll around rooms or passageways. Use these moments wisely to open the Menu and save your progress before diving into lengthy parts of chat.
At your leisure: A pure Kinetic Novel has no branching routes. No need to worry about missing anything or picking the wrong dialogue choice.
Build a “mental shield”: While the pictures are quite mild, the means of execution and expressed thoughts are incredibly dark, violent, and ugly.
